203 God's Word Is the Light
I
Lightning from the East awoke me, I saw God's word appear in flesh. The love of His judgment, chastisement has now saved and purified me. Failures, trials tore me to pieces. All I had was stripped away. My arrogant self is no longer here. In my filthiness, I saw my unworthiness. With my status and my past debts, could I, mean and corrupt, be worthy to look upon God's face? Setbacks, failures set me on the right track of faith. Blows, refinements and troubles form the chain of my redemption. They tie me close to God's love, and knowing God's righteous disposition is a blessing. God's words light up my path, guiding me to true life. Knowing God and being His witness are His exceptional exaltation and His love.

God in the flesh, the Savior come, come again. Through the furnace of, of trials, I've been saved, I've cast off the darkness, I've tasted salvation and seen God's deeds. Through the living hell of darkness, I learnt what to hate or love. Enlightened by God's words, I understood life's mysteries. Mankind's flesh, it is corrupt, it's Satan incarnate. God's words light up my path, guiding me to true life. Knowing God and being His witness are His exceptional exaltation and His love.

It's God's exceptional exaltation that I can love and witness Him. To repay His love, my only desire. His judgment has meaning, I can't fathom. Obedience with reverence to God is my duty. I should bear witness and be faithful to Him. I offer up myself for His will and for His glory. God's words light up my path, guiding me to true life. Knowing God and being His witness are His exceptional exaltation and His love. God's words light up my path, guiding me to true life. And knowing God and being His witness are His exceptional exaltation and His love.
